Who we are

Jayne Hayers

I have had many experiences working as a Counselling Psychotherapist; having worked with people of all ages from teenagers to retirement and beyond. I have a vast array of experience working with people on a variety of issues.

While I counsel an array of issues including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, bereavement and relationships; this list is by no means exhaustive. I do have an interest in sexuality and gender identity giving lectures at Universities and presentations to groups with regard to these issues.

I have worked for Rape Crisis, Manchester where I counselled women on a range of issues including sexual abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence and ritual abuse. I have also volunteered my counselling services for the LGBT Foundation working with individuals of sexual minority groups on a range of issues.

While employed within the NHS; I have worked on several research pieces involving eating disorders, personality disorders and various cancers.

I am also on the accredited register of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). I have full indemnity insurance for my practice and I also receive regular clinical supervision.

Giselle Hayers

Before I moved into a counselling career I was a mentor for young adults and adolescents who were questioning their gender identity and sexuality.

The method of Counselling I tend to favour is somewhat integrative as each person in front of me is unique and therefore it is my feeling that there counselling experience should respect that.

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP); I have full indemnity insurance for my practice and I also receive regular clinical supervision.

While volunteering as a counsellor I developed an interest in research particularwithin minority groups such as asylum seekers and people with gender and sexuality issues as my feeling is that this is an area which would benefit from further exploration. I am also a guest lecturer at Universities giving presentations centred around the gender spectrum and transgender issues.

I am also a qualified English teacher and have taught many people whereby English was not their first language.
